Default Hi everyone

Hi there just thought I would introduce myself. My good self and my dad have just recently aqquired a 1998 jaguar xj6 4.0 auto. We have both wanted one for years and took the plunge. It has a few problems but looking forward to getting it on the road and hopefully meeting some of you girls and guys at some events? We are having a problem with auto box as it keeps slipping in drive but works in all the other gears. We have not got a clue what it could be so going to replace the gearbox I think. Apart from that it's a lovely solid motor! I originally posted this in the wrong section for the xj6 so hopefully it third time me lucky now!

Welcome to the Forums.

That would be an XJ8, as in a V8, and known as an X308 in Jag talk.

Well done.

Welcome to the forums Hartlepooljag,

Good to have you with us.

With transmission problems, the cheapest and quickest solution could be a guaranteed used unit from Eurojag in Darlington.

I can see you've found your way to the X308 forum so there's no need for a link to it from me. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

Please add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the UK & Eire Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/uk-eire-68/ to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Thanks ggg.... Yes my dad has been in touch with them I think,hopefully get it sorted one way or the other. Heard different pieces of advice as to change oil and filter in transmission or check the level of fluid to tightening bands in the gearbox. Whether the latter is possible we don't know. Not had chance to look at it yet
